The University of Connecticut men’s cross country team returns to running this Saturday, October 13 at the Conn College Invite at Harkness Park in New London, Conn. The race will begin at 11 a.m. The Huskies will be led by junior Ryan McGuire who has crossed the finish line first for UConn in every meet of the 2012 season and was rewarded for his efforts this week with the BIG EAST Cross Country Athlete of the Week accolade.

Connecticut coach Rich Miller announced earlier in the week that McGuire and Tim Bennatan are this year’s co-captains for the Huskies.

Most recently the Huskies posted a tenth place finish at the New England Championships with McGuire finishing 17th for UConn’s only top-50 time. He was followed by Jordan Magath, Alvaro Chavez, Bennatan and Joe Clark, respectively.
